Artist

I (Sabine Haider, Director Central Art) began working with Angelo in May 2007 when visited my gallery when he shortly after he arrived in Alice Springs. Over the years I have worked with Angelo on multiple occasions and his artworks have been extremely popular contemporary pieces.

Angelo was born in 1970 at Cummins located on the Lower Eyre Peninsula in South Australia. His family have links to part of the Stolen Generation; this is an important story for Angelo as well as his connection with his traditional homelands. Angelo is part of the Kookatha tribe. He began painting in 2000 and his paintings depict hunting and gathering scenes and he shares that his paintings demonstrate how his tribe used to go on walkabout after the rain fall to gather food. His most popular artworks titled “Rain in the Desert” depict mountain ranges in the AnanguPitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands during rain fall with depictions of the water flowing through the valley, these artworks are bold and masculine, with thick black lines against often differing colourful backgrounds.

Angelo lives in Alice Springs with his wife and children. His wife, Marie Napurrula is also a local artist in Alice Springs. Initially a shy man I have watched Angelo grow into an independent artist with a clear vision. He has taken ownership over his artworks and is not afraid to try new things. I have had the honour of watching and supporting Angelo grow into a self-determined artist. His work is extremely popular and affordable and can easily be found around Alice Springs in local galleries as well as many sales interstate and overseas.

In 2009 Central Art held an online exhibition titled “Self Representing Artists” in which Angelo Burgoyne was a key feature.
